Darkened Jealousy – Chapter 5~ Mystery Employer
Hi all of you people who read this story!
Okay. First of all, sorry for not replying to everyone. Major cliffhanger, sorry, but I did it on purpose. Now, let us see what awaits the next chapter….
3rd person POV
"That wasn't part of the agreement—Shou. I told you where the girl was with that bastard and got you the key. If you refuse to tell me what you know about that Ren guy… I guess I will have to eliminate you from the competition." The voice said, stepping out of the shadows to reveal…
Reino.
"Tch. Fine, Reino, but I still haven't forgiven you for stealing my songs. Keep in mind; The only reason I'm even going to tell you this is to keep that asshole Ren from getting Kyoko." Shou said, gritting his teeth. He wanted to yell so much at the blonde right then, but he knew it would get him nowhere.
"Aww, too afraid to get your hands dirty?" Reino sneered, walking back over to a small table before sitting down.
"Well then, since I helped you, tell me everything you know."
Later… (Kyoko's POV)
I managed to dodge Ren for the rest of the day. I didn't want to see him; to know how ashamed he must've been of me. It would have killed me inside to know that he truly thought of me like that.
I heard him call my name once or twice, but I ran. I eventually finished my day without talking to him, leaping out of the building and darting out to the sidewalk.
I sighed, looking up into the sky. Why did everything bad always seem to happen to me? The number one actor in Japan now thought of me as a mere… slut. The name turned my tongue sour, but the inner voice of mine seemed to taunt me with it to no end.
"SHUT UP!" I yelled to no one in particular, earning some odd looks from strangers as they rushed about. Great, looks like I'm going crazy, too.
"Honey, if you keep talking to yourself, people are going to think you're crazy…" A voice whispered into my ear, sending shivers down my spine. I recognized that voice; it was the one that I hated most. Well, besides Shou.
"…BEAGGGLEEEE!" I screeched, darting a few feet away in a matter of seconds as he gave me his classic, creepy grin.
Suddenly, he was in front of me dragging me into a nearby alley and pinning me against a wall with one arm, his other hand tipping my chin up.
"Listen, I'm not here to fight with you." He started with a gentle tone, his words coming out soothing. I knew not to fall for it, though.
"Oh sure. Dragging someone into a dark alley is a sure way to make them feel safe!" I retorted, rolling my eyes as I subconsciously wondered where I got such a sharp tongue.
"Like I said, I don't want to fight. I need to tell you something away from the ears of others." He said, but I quickly took advantage of his pause for breath.
"I don't trust you." I said with as much hate as I could muster, my voice cold and ruthless.
"Fine then, I don't care if you trust me." He said, an evil grin spreading on his face. "But don't you want to know about Ren's past?"
Wait—What past? Why did he grin as he said that?
"You don't even know, Kyoko?" He said with a smirk, releasing the hand on my chin and stepping a little bit back, but he still held me to the spot.
"You didn't know that Ren killed an innocent person?"
~The next day… Ren's POV~
I walked into LME, feeling like a piece of crap. I didn't understand why Kyoko was so mad at me—or scared of me. I shievered at the thought, but then passed over it. Why would she be afraid of me?
Just then, a tired-looking Kyoko walked through the door, and froze as soon as she saw me.
"Kyoko…? I don't know why you're mad at m—" I said, cutting off when I saw the look on her face.
Tears began to flow from her dark-circled eyes as a look of sheer terror crossed over her face before she ran.
I wanted to die inside.
OOOO ANOTHER CLIFFHANGER. Sorry if Kyoko seems OOC a bit!
Anywho, I hope you like. But the question is; What did Reino tell her about Ren…?
Oh, but you will find out.
Laters, ;)
